One Year in the U.S.

Ja, ja, yodelers. The Frau is officially one year
into her repatriation experiment.

It hasn’t
been an easy year. As Dr. Nan M. Sussman, who researches expat and repat issues
has said, repatriation is harder than expatriation.

Dr. Sussman is right.

She’s also
correct in saying that it takes at least a year to feel comfortable in your
home country again.

One year
in, The Frau feels better. She’s not exactly 100% American (will she ever be?) and
many American things still piss her off (certain political parties especially)
but alas. The Frau is happier than she’s been in a year.

Which begs
the question:

Will The
Frau return to Switzerland next year?

She doesn’t
know. She is returning to Switzerland this month to see how it feels to be
there after a year away. Will Switzerland feel like home? Or will it feel like
a foreign country? Or somewhere in between?

Only one
thing is now certain: the desire to return abroad, whether it is next year or
in ten years, will always be there for The Frau. She wrote about this recently
for the Wall Street Journal in a piece called The Eternal Expatriate. Once
an expat, always an expat, yodelers.

The Frau is
excited about her upcoming trip to Switzerland though. (Warning: small promotional blurb ahead.)

For those who
are interested, she is speaking on repatriation and expatriate issues as well
as reading essays from her work-in-progress, American Life: 30 Things I Wish I’d
Known, at an event sponsored by the American Women’s Club of Zurich. It will be
held October 16, 2015 at the BellaVista Wine Bar from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Contrary
to popular belief, you do not need to be either an American or a woman to attend. See
flyer.

The Frau is
also teaching at the Zurich
Writers Workshop from October 23-25, 2015. There are still a few spots
available if you’re interested in attending.
